the latest acquisitions

18. David Bowie -- Aladdin Sane
19. David Bowie -- Scary Monsters
20. tin machine -- tin machine
21. Supertramp -- Crime of the Century

Can you tell that I've been on a Bowie kick lately?

22. Duncan Sheik -- Whisper House
23. Be Bop Deluxe -- Postcards from the Future
24. Nurse With Wound -- An Awkward Pause
25. Nurse With Wound -- Echo Poeme: Sequence No. 2

I enjoy falling asleep to ambient music. Some discs are subtle enough that they can loop all night without being distracting. Other discs are better suited for inducing sleep and then automatically shutting off upon completion of said task.

Echo Poeme falls into the second category. I was lulled to sleep by the haunting, echo-laden female voices lazily ricocheting from speaker to speaker. However, I was quite disoriented when I awoke during the night and the disc was still playing, the voices now sounding like ghostly announcements from empty subway platforms. Next time I'll just take the train to the first stop, instead of riding it 'til sunrise.

Such an under-rated album.
